    Give them time. I'm sure they have a crack legal team coming up with a means of circumventing prior art as we speak. Hey, maybe that new round headquarters in Cupertino is just a front for apple legal's new time machine. Maybe THAT'S how they've gotten so many of these patents! I'm sure the "rounded rectangle" was legitimately patentable in 3000BC :)

      Windows Lego? Windows Fisher Price?

                  RAVI: Had not thought of that. Very insightful. I bet the Apple-friendly ones would at least. I am on the fence about Win8. It is an imperative that will not go away. I am observing it from a distance still. So far VS 2012 and its tools seem too packaged in some areas. I am interested in the improved thread management though. (Misspelled thread as tread. Maybe it was correct in the first place :laugh: ) DPM.
